Anything Good In The Galway Independent?

A friend of mine was recently told if he was a d***head the girl he coveted would be far more inclined to engage in a relationship but nothing would happen because he was too nice.

As ridiculous as this sounds it’s a common occurrence; nice guys are giving women a dangerous ascension into the previous unchallenged male domain of hunter-gatherer. Dating is complicated enough without the tradition lines being blurred.

Guys, my advice is simple: grow a pair. Follow my example, take her down off that pedestal, and be more like yours truly. See women for what they really are: something to be enjoyed and used. They are complicated and illogical so until you find one that you can half put up with enjoy playing the field.

It took me all of 10 seconds to clock this as a really poor satire.
He’s trying to emulate an “edgy” Barney Stinson from “How I Met Your Mother”, and all he’s really doing is coming acros as some *ssh*le teenager who just read Tucker Max’s blog or “I hope they serve beer in hell”.

He’s essentially just writing “The Average American Male” to troll the people of Galway/ Ireland who’ve never gotten outside of their small town bubble.

It’s sh*te that borders on plagarism, that’s what we should be outraged at, how deluded we are that any level of thought went into this.

I should have framed it more as being indicative of the tone these articles take.
Should have taken the stance of “cartoonishly bad men’s advice is no different from cartoonishly bad women’s advice”.
If you’re learning about how to treat women from a newspaper or magazine the problem isn’t with the advice you’re being given.

“Guys, my advice is simple: grow a pair. Follow my example, take her down off that pedestal, and be more like yours truly… They are complicated and illogical so until you find one that you can half put up with enjoy playing the field.”

See that would actually be grand dating advice for either sex, it just needs minor editing.
